The financial aid office of a certain college has agreed to provide a $9,000 grant to every student whose total family income (not including the grant) is $22,500 or less. However, for every $40 in family income above this figure, the grant is reduced by $10. If Cedric's award is reduced 40%, what is his family income?

(A) $26,100
(B) $27,000
(C) $31,500
(D) $36,900
(E) $ 44,100

We see that Cedric received 0.6 x 9,000 = $5,400 in grant, which is $3,600 less than the maximum $9,000 grant. Since 3,600/10 = 360, his family income must be 22,500 + 40 x 360 = 22,500 + 14,400 = $36,900.

Answer: D
